目的:研究导痰汤能否通过对核因子-κB(NF-κB)信号通路的调节而干预ICAM-1的表达,以揭示导痰汤治疗动脉粥样硬化的机制。方法:通过PCR和Western blot等方法,观察导痰汤对肿瘤坏因子-α(TNF-α)刺激脐静脉内皮细胞(HUVEC)培养内皮细胞细胞间黏附分子-1(ICAM-1)和NF-κB表达的影响。结果:TNF-α诱导组ICAM-1和NF-κB显著高于空白对照组和导痰汤对照组(P〈0.01);使用导痰汤含药血清或吡咯烷二硫氧基甲酸(PDTC)处理后,ICAM-1和NF-κB p65表达显著下降(P〈0.05,P〈0.01);NF-κB活性与ICAM-1 mRNA水平呈显著正相关(r=0.716,P〈0.01)。结论:导痰汤可以调节NF-κB信号通路,从而有效抑制TNF-α刺激所致的脐静脉内皮细胞ICAM-1的表达。
objective: To observe the effect of daotan decoction to the expression of ICAM-1 and NF-κB in Human's Umbilical Veins Endothelial Cells.Methods: This study observed the effect of these cells' ICAM-1 and NF-κB expression,which was induced by TNF-α,by the way of PCR and Western blot methods.Results: Compared with two control groups,the expression of ICAM-1 and NF-κB in model group(TNF-α) was significantly increased(P0.01).And compared with model group,Daotan Decoction could significantly restrain ICAM-1 and NF-κB expression(P0.05,P0.01).Meanwhile,there was significant positive relationship between the expression of ICAM-1 and NF-κB(r=0.716,P0.01).Conclusion: Daotan Decoction could restrain ICAM-1 expression stimulated by TNF-α in human's umbilical veins endothelial cells by regulating the NF-κB pathway.
